So now we are just saying it costs X (cost of the degree) to get a Visa, with no real quality metrics to speak of. I should know. I went through a Graduate program in STEM and many of the others in the class has no business being there, but they paid the bill and the school needled them along. In theory this sounds awesome, in practice though there is a lot of work to do for this to be effective! and the CIR does *nothing* to accomplish this.

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 23:29:00 +0000http://local.feld.com/?p=8761#comment-155292i just looked though the bill (http://www.wsfb.com/system/files/1_Border_Security_Economic_Opportunity_and_Immigration_Modernization_Act.pdf) and still could not find where it says you would get green card (or any other status) once you graduate. Would appreciate it you could point out to the specific section..thks..

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 06:27:00 +0000http://local.feld.com/?p=8761#comment-155273Ironically, I’m planning to do the opposite. That is, I’m in London and would like to take part in the US #StartupVisa to create my next startup in the USA.

I am hoping that the immigration reform will pass into law in the USA soon, including a Startup Visa provision which allows UK-based entrepreneurs to establish businesses in the US.
